5.4.2 Customizing the Configuration
The following steps provide an overview of the process used to configure
the base station with the settings it needs. Refer to the Help for detailed
information.
1. Log in to the base station (refer to “Connecting Your PC to the Base
Station” on page 46 for more details).
2. Select Configure. The base station has many different settings that
can be configured before it is put into operation, such as:
■ channel configurations
■ alarm control and SNMP agent
■ network interfaces
■ channel groups and quality of service
■ channel and signaling profiles
■ CWID
■ miscellaneous items such as minimum battery voltages, fan
control, NTP and package servers.
3. Make the changes needed in each form and click Save.
We recommend that you save the configuration to your PC or network.
First make a backup copy of the configuration (which is stored in the base
station as a file), then save this file to a folder on your PC or network. This
provides a backup which can be restored to the base station if the
configuration information becomes lost or corrupted.
5.4.3 Recommended Configuration Settings
In a dual base station only reciter 1 communicates directly with the PMU
and front panel. Therefore the following configuration settings are
recommended for dual base station operation:
■ Disable the “PMU not detected” alarm on base station 2 (Configure >
Alarms > Control > PMU).
■ Disable the “FP not detected” alarm on base station 2 (Configure >
Alarms > Control > Front panel).
